I'm planning to get a number of these for different purposes. I believe they are made of aluminum. Is there any feasible way to engrave, color, or otherwise permanently modify them with the a logo?

tape and alumihyde

A stencil and spray paint would take some practice and skill but I think it would work.

I often use nail polish because it come sin a million colors and is super strong but it's probably to thick. you might thin it with acetone.
I'd say get a piece of aluminum and experiment.
Are you starting a company and this is a promotional freebee?

Muriatic acid and hydrogen peroxide works well with Aluminium.

Depending on how complicated you want to get you can do some very cool shit with pnp-blue sheets.

Heads up though. It gives off toxic fumes, so make sure you mask up and do it in a well ventilated area.

If you want I will make a tutorial with pics when I start working on my newest project's control panel.

How many is "a number?"

If the number is large you might consider laser engraving. Lots of laser cutters do this but only economical in volume

caustic fumes, not toxic

The best way is to get them done professionally. Many companies like this one do it.

Did you end up getting these? I have one and it's really slow.

This, depending on how much you oxidize aluminum its color will change.
